I've said this before but I don't know if I'm convinced. Maybe it's cause of his size, but he looks like Manziel to me. But then again, I see a lot of Romo in his play. This draft is really interesting for QBs, that's for sure.
They do have a similar frame.. I think it’s the shoulder pads..
Manziel was barely 6’0.. Wilson is 6’3.
first off we have no shot at him since he is going at pick no 2,so abandon all hope now.
Wilson is a good player. I think he compares quite well to Russell Wilson quite frankly.
We won't draft a QB as this FO will stick by Dak, but I think he'll go top ten for sure.
He definitely deserves his own thread at this point.
I think he's the clear cut challenger to Fields as the #2 QB. I don't see a real hole in his game other than his competition.
In general I don't like to knock a players individual talent because of his opponents talent.
It's early days but if we don't get Dak signed before the draft then I think a QB with Aaron Rodgers / Pat Mahomes playstyle needs to be considered. He's obviously not my first option and i'm not sure if he's my 2nd option yet but i'm getting there.
Here is some 2020 highlights that kind of shows the Macro of what he can do.. When evaluating him though you have to really look at what he can't do because he checks a lot of boxes.
He has the athleticism to be one of those pesky guys that is just really annoying to play against because he can get you out of bad plays with his feet.
Here is a full game so you can see more intermediate and short throws
I’ve questioned him arm strength at times and then I go and see something like this..
Level of competition is really big here. In these highlight videos notice how much time he has to throw? Go watch DiNucci highlights you will see some of the same throws. When they get to the NFL everything is much faster and that's when the wheels come off. QBs like Josh Rosen, had great highlights too. A lot of prospects do not make it in the NFL. I am not saying Wilson will not be a good NFL QB, I am saying there is a significant risk when drafting QBs.
Will he go back to BYU for a senior season? Will he go on a 2 year mission? Or both? The little I have read said he isn't likely to serve a mission, but no one knows for sure.
